Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attachment
2. Go to page 3 and add some text
4. Save and close the document
5. Open the document and look at the position of the cursor

Behaviour if your doing steps 1 to 5 in LO 4.4.7.2:
Cursor is at the position of the text you added.

Behaviour if your doing steps 1 to 5 in LO 5.4.2.2:
Cursor is at the beginning of the document. (Same result with LO 6.0.0.0)

...
6. Go to Options-LibreOffice-User Data
7. Put anything to "Name" and save
8. Repeat steps 1-5 and see everything is OK.

because LibreOffice (and all its predecessors) only save position associated with a user - so at least some user information is required for this feature to work.

Closed NOTABUG.
